Absolutely the star of the evening. Rich aroma and a different class of wine. Dark fruits and well balanced. Aged well. — 5 months ago
At first I found this medium bodied, slightly creamy, with prominent stone fruits, white peach and cumquat, with a prominent minerality and slight notes of cheesecake on the nose. Now it’s emerging much more dry with air, still a long, mineral driven palate, still medium bodied, but beautifully balanced and definitely a contract to many California white wines when it comes to complexity and nuance. — 7 months ago
Salmon , salad and a great Pinot.

Drinking Pinot for Thanksgiving from a vineyard 4 miles away is pretty special! Aged a few years before opening shows a little bricking at the edges with a pale red with orange hue to the color. Big nose bursts forth out of the glass with peppery notes of spiced red fruits, plum and strawberry perhaps, with a slight floral element throughout. The Medium body brings on pleasant notes of vanilla and baking spice, with slight tannin, big plum and ripe red fruits, a hint of brandy and a refined floral element to the finish. — 5 months ago
Always reminds me of white burgundies, crisp apples, great fruit IMO what white wine should be! — 9 months ago

Rich, balanced Pinot that opened up after 3 hours of air. Cherry cola flavors dominated with just a hint of earth. I enjoyed the wine with rack of lamb but truth be told I liked the bouquet more than the wine. — 5 months ago
Love this year and vineyard. The deep color and taste profile is velvety and pure joy to drink. — 5 months ago

It’s still going strong and delicious. It’s a soft wine and not super Pinot forward now given its age. Not much of a finish but smooth as butter and a nice floral nose. With a big sip the finish is there and very pleasant. Love this but drink now. It’s precipitating serious sediment so suspect the color will fade soon. — 7 months ago

Thank goodness. No pre-ox on this wine. Have been burned by a lot of Williams selyem chards
But this wine had the dark golden hue yet no pre ox. Very fresh and gorgeous
Like the best WS chards - this tastes nothing like typical California Chardonnay and is more like a chateaunuef de pape Blanc
Fantastic melon and stone fruit flavors.
Minimal oak and a good acidity that gives you a bit of heat / alcohol but not too much.
Really enjoyed this wine with salmon and caviar. — 3 months ago
